Application tiled December 23, 1886. Serial No. $222,862. (No model.)

.To alla/7mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUcUsTA JULIA WU'EE- FEL, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Tailors Rule, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provid-e a new and improved tailors rule for cutting any size or style of garments for ladies and children, including boys up to nine years,with

maybe quickly learned. l

The invention consists of two instruments used in connection with each vother,'each instrument being provided 'with anumber of scales. 4

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specitication, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a face View of the square, and Fig. 2 is a similar viewwof a curved blade for The square A (represented in Fig. 1) is provided with two blades, B and C, the outer edge ofthe blade B being providedwith an inchscale,D, having two rows of numerals, one of which runs from 1 to 18 andthe other from 19 to 36 inches, thus completing the yard-meas ure. The inches are divided into s ubdivisions of halves and quarters. Onthe blade B is arranged the line E, which is a guide for the front shoulder. The two cross-lines F and F ,on the blade B represent guides for the front bust-measure, and the irst line, F, is three and onehalf inches from the inner end of the plate B, and is for measuring a childs bust, and theline F,which is four inches from the inner end of the said blade B, is intended as a guide for the bust-measure of ladies. vThe inner edge of the blade D is providedfwith the scale G, running from one to nine inches,with subdivisions of halt` and quarter inches, and this scale is intended for measuring the length of the shoulder. Y A

On the inner edge of the blade C is formed a scale, H, measuring` quagter-inches, which are marked with the numerals from 1 to 12,- and this scale H corresponds with the scale G, and is intended for measuring the height of the shoulder. The outer edge of the blade C is rounded ofi", as shown in Fig. 1, and the outer part of the blade C is provided with the three scales I, J, and K, which form the combined neckscale, and of which thescale I is marked with the numerals 10 to 18, to correspond with the width of the neck, and also to correspond with the scale J, marked with the numerals 1 to G, and intended' as the back neclcscale for representing dilere'nt widths of necks. scale K, having the numerals 9 to 18 and subdivisions which represent eighteen inches for eighteen differentsized necks. The scale K', marked with the figures 1 to l2 on the outer edge of the scale G, indicates the size of neck, and corresponds with the neck-scale I.

Fig. 2 represents the instrument P, for mark- This scale also corresponds with the ing the-backs 'of garment-s, and it is provided d with thev curved edge L, on which is formed the scale M, for measuring and shaping the back of the arm-size and back of the bustmeasure. The numerals 11 to 16 on this scale M indicate different sizes of busts. The nu merals 1 to 4 of the same scale are' for splicing back and side form. The part Q of the scale M represents dfferentsized arnrsizes, and the letters I and C stand for the armholes of childrens, theletter M for armholes of misses, and the letter L for the armholes of ladies garments. The lines N run, across the blade P, are marked with the numerals 12'to 1S, and are guide-lines for back draft. The numerals 9 to `18 represent different sizes of neck and width of back. The curved inner edge, O, of the blade l? is provided with an inch-scale, It, having subdivisions, and the said scaleis used for representing and measuring the curved back and side forms.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V 1. In a tailors rule, the square A, formed of the blades B C, the blade B being provided `with the shoulder-guide E,bustmeasure guides F, and the shouldenscale G, and the blade C having its outer edge rounded and provided with shoulder-scale H and the neck-scale I .I K,substantiall y as herein shownand described. 2. In a tailors rule, the blade P, havingthe IOO eurved outer edge, L, and the curved inner edge, O, and provided with the beek and arm scales M Q,tl1e guide-lines N,m1d the beek and side scale R, substantinll y as herein shown and described.
